Need TV and media units in Brentford?
Could you do it yourself?
Long shelves are where off-the-shelf often struggles. How much a shelf bends depends on its span, depth and load, and long runs need a thicker shelf, a lip along the front or a support. That’s something we plan for in the design.
Off-the-shelf cupboards come in fixed sizes, so there is often a strip of wasted space at the side or above. Fitted furniture is made to the room’s measurements, so it can run to the ceiling and fill the width.
TV and media units in Brentford: what you get
Where the TV will be wall-mounted, the unit is designed around where the bracket goes. If the TV stands on the unit instead, the top is sized and positioned for it. If you are living with wasted space around the screen and nowhere good for speakers, that’s what TV and media units are for, made from moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood, spray-painted or hand-painted.
Internal walls in newer homes are normally plasterboard on metal or timber studs, and the board alone isn’t meant for heavy loads. Around Brentford, where many homes were built since 2000, that shapes how TV and media units are fixed: tall units stand on the floor and are tied into the studs, and shelves use fixings made for the board where there is no stud.
After the design visit, we send you a written quote. It describes the design we discussed, the materials and the finish, so it is clear what’s included.

What else we make in Brentford
Bespoke or off-the-shelf?
Bought units often have a single cable gap, but cables normally still show somewhere. We plan the cable routes into the design. Rooms in newer homes are often compact, and standard depths can take too much floor, while fitted furniture can be made shallower where space is tight. It still uses the full height.
We quote each job for the room it’s going into, after the design visit. The price depends mainly on the size of the piece, how many doors and drawers it has and what goes inside.

Living-room storage in Brentford
Homes built since 2000 make up about 38% of the housing in the streets around Brentford, with about 23% built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax figures (2025). Knowing roughly when a home was built helps, because walls and fixings change from one era to the next. There are 38 entries on the National Heritage List within half a mile of the centre of Brentford. Original fireplaces, shutters and panelling are worth keeping where they survive, and the furniture can be designed around them rather than over them. Newer homes are more common around Brentford than across Hounslow: about 38% date from 2000 onwards, against about 20%, in the VOA’s 2025 council tax stock figures. That makes plasterboard stud walls and compact rooms more likely, which shapes the fixings and sizes.
If you live in a flat close to Brentford station, it helps to book the lift and tell the concierge before fitting day. If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, such as Church of St Lawrence, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features. If your home is one of the older houses near Congregational Church, walls that bow and floors that slope are why TV and media units are scribed to fit rather than pushed into place.

FAQs: TV and media units in Brentford
Can you make TV and media units for a home in Brentford?
Yes. Brentford is one of the places we work, along with the rest of Hounslow and London. To get started, you can drop us a line using the contact form with a few details.
How do you fit TV and media units in a flat in Brentford?
At the design visit, we measure the way in not just the room. The furniture is made in sections that fit the stairs and lift, and put together in the room. It’s useful to check any building rules and your lease before fitting day.
Do you move sockets for a TV unit?
Electrical work isn’t something we do. Your electrician handles sockets and wiring, and Part P of the Building Regulations covers some electrical work in homes. We share the layout so the sockets line up with the design.
What finishes do you offer?
You can choose between two finishes: by spray or by hand. A spray finish is smooth and even, while a hand-painted one is easy to touch up later.
How long will the fitting take?
The time on site depends on the size of the unit and how many cupboards and shelves it has, and your quote sets out the fitting days. We’ll talk you through what to expect beforehand.
Can you fit furniture to uneven walls?
It is something we deal with all the time. We trim the edges to follow the wall and level the base, so it sits tight to the room.
How it is made
Birch plywood
A wide shelf under the TV needs stiffness. Birch plywood, sized for the span, keeps it flat.
Shelves
Shelves are sized for the equipment and speakers they carry, with room for cables behind.
How fitting works for TV and media units
When we arrive on fitting day, we start by protecting your floors and the route from the front door to the room. The sections built in our workshop come in next, a piece at a time. How long fitting takes depends on the size of the unit and how many cupboards and shelves it has, and the fitting days are set out in your quote. Newer homes often have finished floors, painted walls and new doors that mark easily, so we protect the route before carrying anything in. Corners and door frames are covered as well. The sections are assembled in the room.
- You let us know about the room and what the unit needs to hold, from set-top boxes to speakers.
- We come to measure and talk through screen height, speakers and cables, with ventilation for boxes and amplifiers.
- We put the design, materials and finish into a written quote. If anything in it is unclear, ask us.
- We then make the unit in our workshop.
- The unit is fitted in your home, ready for your equipment, with the cable routes left clear.
How to prepare
- Get any new sockets or wiring done by your electrician before fitting day
- Clear the walls of pictures and shelves
- Book any lift and let the concierge or building manager know
